Cut back on simple carbohydrates, like most starchy and sugared foods.

Consume foods that offer real energy efficiency, not those that require a major energy expenditure to digest.

Eat small meals and snacks all day long. This way you will never be too hungry or too satiated.

Make and consume your own “raw energy bars.”

Many people overeat at dinnertime, a common cause of obesity. To avoid this, eat a filling afternoon snack that contains substantial protein, fiber and high-quality fats.

Instead of three large meals during the day, eat every few hours.

Every day, have a green salad, a raw energy bar, and a nutrition-packed smoothie.

You can stay healthy with only a moderate amount of exercise.
